Brave in the face of his enemies but affable when among his people, Nasher was noted for his steadfast opposition against Luskan and the orcs of the North. He had a great love of music and hearing tales of faraway lands.[2][4]

As the ruler of Neverwinter, Nasher was responsible for laying many plots and magical contingencies against assaults from the city's warlike rival, Luskan, even going so far as banning maps of the city being made in order to throw off the spies of Luskan and their potential invasion plans.[7]

During his younger years, Nasher adventured extensively for around ten years and garnered a great trove of magical items.[6] During those adventuring days, its was common knowledge that Nasher once slew a minotaur.[8]

Around 1329 DR, Nasher Alagondar became ruler of the city of Neverwinter.[1]

Lord Nasher.

In 1372 DR, the Wailing Death began afflicting the citizens of Neverwinter on Tarsakh 30. Within a few tendays it had brought the majority of the city's inhabitants to death's dooor.[9] With the help of Khelben Arunsun, a ritual was devised to cure the magical disease.[10]

Many details of Nasher's life were forgotten because of the uncertainty that followed the Spellplague of 1385 DR and the the Ruining of 1451 DR. However, the Neverwintans always took pride in the fact that their rulers, the Alagondars, were his descendants.[1]

In 1474 DR, the Sons of Alagondar emerged in Neverwinter and waged a campaign of insurgency and propaganda against the rule of Dagult Neverember. Proclaiming themselves as the descendants of the servants and retainers of Lord Nasher—with one of their leaders, Arlon Bladeshaper, claiming to be a descendant of one of the Neverwinter Nine—they wished to restore rule to the rightful line of Alagondar. When the Sons split into two groups, in 1479 DR, one of the splinter groups was named the Nashers in his honor.[12]
